What voltage can the ArduIMU take in? I would like to use this battery http://hobbyking.com/hobbycity/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=7303&Product_Name=Rhino_460mAh_2S_7.4v_20C_Lipoly_Pack. The battery is actually outputting more like ~8.5 V. Would that be too much for the board? Thanks

I'm not using the APM, just the IMU for a different project (GPS blimp). On the IMU it says Vin>6V so that makes me think the IMU has a voltage regulator also? Is that not true? I'm going to use a 5V regulator to power the servo now.

Also, if I want to run a servo off one of the PWM pins are there any pins on the board that output enough current at 5V to power the servo or do I need to use external power?
